Kartik came and shook Ahaan to wake him up. Ahaan squeezed his eyes and opened them, he realized Ishqi sleeping near him but was covered.

"Bhai, yeh sahi nahi hai." Kartik said. "Kya sahi nahi hai?"

"Yeh, aap dono ka alag hona!" Sonu said cutting Kartik.

Dil charkhe ki ik tu dori
Dil charkhe ki ik tu dori
Sufi iska rang haaye

Ishqi opened her eyes and saw Ahaan covering her completely. She tried pulling the duvet but Ahaan kept it over.

"Bhai, aap kya kar rahe ho?" Kartik asked irritated. Ishqi sneaked out from the blanket and Sonu and Kartik smirked. "Ohkayyy," Both chuckled.

Ishqi came out of the blanket and folded the blanket. "Ishqi, mai chahti hoon aap log hamesha saath raho... please Singapore mat jaao?"

Ismein jo tera khwaab piroya
Ismein jo tera khwaab piroya
Neendein bani patang

"Sonu, please..." Ishqi requested. "Ishqi, hamari baat maan lo..." Kartik requested. Masi called Ishqi out, "Mai bags dekh kar aayi..." Ahaan kept looking at her disappearing figure.

"Kaise karoge aap log?" Sonu held his shoulders and squeezed them lightly. "Mai andar so jaata hoon."

Dil bharta nahi
Aankhein rajjti nahi
Dil bharta nahi
Aankhen rajjti nahi
Chaahe kitna bhi dekhti jaaun
Waqt jaaye main rok na paaun

Ishqi came inside Ahaan's room and saw him sleeping. She kept standing near him admiring his face.

Tu thodi der aur thehar ja sohneya
Tu thodi der aur thehar ja
Tu thodi der aur thehar ja zaalima
Tu thodi der aur thehar ja...

Sonu came from behind and shook her. Ishqi smiled weakly at her and Sonu hugged her. "You're so strong Ishqi, tumne humari family ke liye jo bhi kiya hai aaj tak, mai jitna thanks kahu utna kam hai."

"Humari family ke liye kiya hai Sonu, humari yaani meri bhi toh hai." Ishqi caressed her hair and turned towards Ahaan who was grinning at them.

Haaye din tere bin ab jee na paaye
Din tere bin ab jee na paaye
Saans na leti raat
Ishq kare tere honthon se

Ishq kare mere honthon se
Bas ik teri baat

"Ahaan, aap nahi aayenge?"

"Mai nahi dekh paaunga tumhe jaate hue Ishqi, please rukk jaao!" Ahaan requested sitting on his knees. "Ahaan, please!"

"Dadi ke liye Ahaan, humne promise kiya tha na?" Ishqi whispered hugging him.

Teri doori na sahun
Door khud se rahun

Teri doori na sahun
Door khud se rahun
Tere pehlu mein hi reh jaaun
Tu hi samjhan jo main chaahun

Ahaan stood up after some time and they hugged each other tightly. Ahaan kissed her hair and she closed her eyes feeling him for once. They both were going to be alone, Ahaan alone in between close people and Ishqi, alone between new.

Tu thodi der aur thehar ja sohneya
Tu thodi der aur thehar ja
Tu thodi der aur thehar ja zaalima
Tu thodi der aur thehar ja...

They came out of his room near the reception. Rhea stood in the corner, waiting for Ishqi to leave. Durga Devi was in her room.

Chachi hugged Ishqi, "Mai teri koi madad nahi karr paayi Ishqi, mujhe maaf karde." Ishqi shook her head, "Kaisi baatein kar rahi hai chachi, please."

"Bye Ishqi, thank you for everything." Sonu whispered when they hugged. "Ishqi..." Kartik hugged Ishqi and both cried.

Nahiyo lagna, nahiyo lagna
Tere bin dil mera

Dil minnate kare
Na tu ja na pare

Dil minnate kare
Na tu ja na pare
Tere jaane se jee na paaun

"AVM aap nahi aayenge airport?" Ishqi asked as Kartik sat inside the car. "Mat jaao Ishu!" He whispered shaking his head and hugging her. "Mai kamzor nahi padna chahti AVM, please?"

"Please meri baat mat maano, please chali jaao!" Ahaan's tears fell on Ishqi's back and she felt them.

Tu thodi der aur thehar ja sohneya
Tu thodi der aur thehar ja
Tu thodi der aur thehar ja zaalima
Tu thodi der aur thehar ja...

Ishqi and Masi left with Kartik to the airport. Ishqi was trying to be strong while Ahaan was in his room, sitting idle.
